Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My bike folds space to shorten the distance. Even my century rides are less than 12 parsecs.

I can't imagine that the server this forum is hosted on moves at all.

So: 0.00.

Sometimes I walk on my treadmill while watching TV at 4.5 mph.

Usually drive 10 km/h over the posted speed limit when traffic is clear. I'm told cops bother stopping you at that speed.


You bike in Canadian and run in American?

For where I'm from, it's 20 km/h before they bother you so I usually stay within 15-18 km/h above the specified speed limit if it's safe to do so.

In need of refinishing and repair. But we will get that done, the bench is too legendary to discard.

Depends on the topic.


Lance/PEDs is like this years stage 1, short and fast.


Sagan/Cav (who did who), long like a double century.

I guess I'll chime in with an answer. My Garmin Connect account shows me 18.1 for the last 12 months. That is including all rides....road, recovery, group, gravel... Average speed really means nothing. There are so many variables that you could not possibly measure yourself against anyone, but I hope it helps.
